Yang Jing's order is an imperial edict for everyone.

Although Bi Yuntao, Fan Tietou and the others won several major victories in this frontier position, they were a little reluctant to let it go.

But they still took the orders and led their soldiers under their command to start acting separately.

Not long after, the remaining more than 1,800 soldiers of the garrison took their weapons and equipment and wounded through the traffic trench and all retreated into the underground air raid shelter excavated behind.

After a big battle, nearly a thousand people were killed in the Huben Camp and Songjiang Security Team, and the injured were all counted. The casualties were extremely heavy, but compared with the elimination of thousands of elite Japanese troops, these casualties were nothing.

...

At the same time, the two divisions under Wu Jingshan were also attacked by Japanese detour troops one after another.

After a bloody battle, although the two soldiers suffered huge casualties, they firmly held their positions, making it difficult for the Japanese army to advance, and intact ensured the safety of the Huben Camp and the flanks of Songjiang County.

After suffering a large number of casualties, the Japanese detoured troops had no choice but to temporarily retreat.

12 noon.

The Japanese heavy artillery brigade arrived one after another on the south bank of the Huangpu River and successfully crossed the Songjiang Wharf on the north bank through the floating bridge built by the 6th Division.

While ordering the heavy artillery brigade to build an artillery position, Tanisuo generated power to the dispatching army headquarters for help.

About half an hour later, dozens of Japanese Navy carrier-based bombers and fighters, carrying the sound of wind shaking the air, whistling from a distance.

The powerful firepower group formed with the 2nd Heavy Artillery Brigade and the 6th Artillery Regiment directly rushed to the Hu Ben Camp position without saying a word and launched a retaliatory fire strike with Songjiang County.

The position of Huben Camp in the south of the city was under the special care of the Japanese carrier-based aircraft group and heavy artillery group.

The defenders hid in underground air defense fortifications and could clearly feel the violent vibrations coming from the ground above their heads, as if an earthquake was coming.

Some soldiers who were already injured were shocked and vomited blood, and many of the wounds on their bodies were torn apart.

The bright red blood flowed out of the wound and soon dyed gauze and bandages red.

The ground above the defenders' heads turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Every shell drops, a huge crater will be left, and soil, sand and gravel will fly everywhere along with the shock waves generated by the explosion.

Not only outside the city, but also inside the city was bombarded by Japanese artillery fire, especially in the south of the city, which was directly ravaged into ruins by the powerful firepower of the Japanese army.

Countless residential buildings were blown up and collapsed with a bang.

Various bricks and stone rubbles flew everywhere, covering the entire street.

...

Nanjing.

Chen Cixiu and other senior officials from the front-line enemy command of the Third War Zone have taken the lead in withdrawing here.

The command center was re-established in Nanjing City, and remotely controlled the retreat of hundreds of thousands of troops on the Songhu battlefield.

With the landing of the 10th Japanese Army in Hangzhou Bay, the road for the main force of the National Army to retreat westward to Jiaxing, Hangzhou and other places on the Songhu battlefield had been cut off. Hundreds of thousands of troops had to retreat along the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway and Highway to Suzhou, Wuxi and other places.

Although Yang Jing's troops defended Songjiang, temporarily blocked the offensive momentum of the 10th Army of the Japanese army to advance eastward, avoiding the danger of Chinese main forces being attacked from both sides.

However, on the battlefield of Songhu, the more than 100,000 Japanese troops facing the Chinese army head-on, took advantage of the situation to launch a pursuit. In addition, the Japanese army had a large number of fighter planes to help, so they chased them relentlessly.

Hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops lacked a unified and effective retreat plan. Under the joint pursuit of the enemy's ground and air forces, the troops were in chaos and trampled on each other, and the casualties and injuries were very huge.

The bad news was continuous, which made the senior officers in the Third War Zone almost unable to sleep or eat. Suddenly, an unfavorable news came again.

Just as hundreds of thousands of main troops were retreating to Suzhou and Jiaxing area on the battlefield of Songhu, the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, with the assistance of the navy, rushed up from the Shuojiang River at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and suddenly landed at the Baimakoukou of Taicang, with the troops heading straight to Suzhou.

The Japanese army's intention was very obvious, that was, to completely cut off China. The army's retreat to Wuxi, Nanjing and other places. Hundreds of thousands of China and the army completely annihilated the east bank of Taihu Lake, Wuxi, Suzhou to Jiaxing.

After Chen Cixiu learned the news, he was shocked and immediately convened an emergency military meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Soon, a group of senior officers from the Third War Zone received orders and came to the conference room.

After Chen Cixiu briefly explained the situation, Luo Youqing took the lead and said: "The support of the 16th Japanese Division and naval carrier-based aircraft are coming in full force. We must lead an elite army with a capable general to compete with it.

Otherwise, Suzhou will be in danger, and my hundreds of thousands of troops will be in danger!"

Chen Cixiu said with a headache: "Now all troops have been disrupted, and even those German divisions have suffered heavy casualties and have not had time to replenish them yet! Where can I mobilize the elite troops now?"

General Zhang Wenbai said: "The 16th Division of the Japanese Army is a new force with very strong combat power. In addition, they come with the power of great victory. If there is no effective force to block the attack, it is impossible to stop them!

After receiving the order to retreat, our army no longer had the intention of fighting. Now we only want to escape and retreat. Even if we send it, it will be completely useless. We can't stop the vanguard of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army!"

After saying this, Zhang Wenbai continued: "Of course, our army is not without effective troops."

Seeing that Zhang Wenbai said this, his voice suddenly stopped. Commander-in-chief Chen Cixiu hurriedly asked: "Brother Wenbai, he is almost burning his butt. Why are you still keeping it? Tell me quickly!"

Zhang Wenbai said: "Hu Ben Camp! As a glorious army of our army, we can see the combat effectiveness of Hu Ben Camp.

Of course, the Huben Camp has limited troops, so it is almost impossible to defeat the 16th Division of the Japanese Army.

However, with Yang Jing's command ability, the combat effectiveness of the Huben Camp, and the assistance of the 67th Army, there should be no big problem if you want to block the 16th Division."

After hearing this, Chen Cixiu seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. At this critical moment, it seemed that only Yang Jing's Hu Ben Camp could take on this great task, and only Hu Ben Camp dared to confront the Japanese army head-on. He slapped his forehead and exclaimed: "Yes! Why didn't I expect Hu Ben Camp?"

As he said that, Chen Cixiu looked at Luo Youqing in the left hand position again and asked, "How is Yang Jing's Hu Ben Camp now?"

Luo Youqing said: "Yang Jing has led the Hu Ben Camp to fight the Japanese invaders in Songjiang for two days and one night. It is still one day before he can complete the original mission!"

Speaking of Huben Camp, Luo Youqing's face unconsciously showed a proud expression and continued: "When it comes to Yang Jing, it's really unbelievable! With a mere 3,000 troops, most of them were the miscellaneous troops of the Songjiang City Defense Security Team. Not only did they successfully resist tens of thousands of invading Japanese troops, but the enemy failed to move forward, they also severely damaged the 6th Division of the Japanese army several times.

You know, the enemy has the powerful firepower assistance of the heavy artillery brigade and naval carrier-based aircraft fleet.

I have to say that Yang Jing is really the spokesperson for miracles!

Although there are also contributions to Wu Jingshan's 67th Army, Yang Jing is really amazing!"
